Trump on Christmas: Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria.
Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the policemen of the world.
We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
